Maresca Addresses VAR Controversy After Haaland's Goal
Enzo Maresca, the manager of Manchester City, addressed the controversial VAR error that permitted Erling Haaland's winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Manchester United on September 13. During a press conference on September 16, ahead of the Carabao Cup match against Norwich, Maresca stated that the VAR error should not detract from his team's overall performance.
He described the incident as "part of football" and criticized the focus on that single event. Maresca also recalled a previous contentious decision involving Manchester City, where they were still awaiting an apology for Marcus Rashford's goal in United's 2-1 win in January 2023.
He reiterated his preference to concentrate on the team's performance and the three points gained from the derby match.
